Our brains have a tendency to tie together funny connections at the most random times… I was just perusing Amazon's list of Top 100 Authors looking for new and interesting guests to interview on the show, and I noticed something interesting — most of the top 100 are Fiction authors.

I found that kinda weird.

But that’s only because out of the 1,000+ books I own, probably only 3 of them are fiction (and the only one of those three that I can think of right now, is The Alchemist). The rest of my library is packed with non-fiction tomes on Personal Development, Business, and Philosophy.

But yah see — if most people prefer reading fiction, and I prefer reading non-fiction — then I’m pretty sure that makes ME the weird one, right?

Wrong. Wrong on both accounts…

Fiction fans aren’t weird.Non-fiction fans aren’t weird.

EVERYONE is weird.

We’re all different. And that’s totally fine.

And rather than shying away from something because it’s not what most people are doing, I believe it’s almost always a better idea to embrace your strengths and skills and passions — and to do it outwardly and openly.
